When digging further into the source code, I found in libs\sofia-sip\libsofia-sip-ua\tport\tport_type_tcp.c:

#if defined(SO_KEEPALIVE)
setsockopt(socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, (void *)&val, sizeof val);
#endif
val = 30;
#if defined(TCP_KEEPIDLE)
setsockopt(socket, SOL_TCP, TCP_KEEPIDLE, (void *)&val, sizeof val);
#endif
#if defined(TCP_KEEPINTVL)
setsockopt(socket, SOL_TCP, TCP_KEEPINTVL, (void *)&val, sizeof val);
#endif

The 30 seconds are hardcoded...

Now to turn off keepalive, I'd have to change the header file where SO_KEEPALIVE is set and to compile freeswitch?

Is there a more straightforward way?

I am not a C/C++ programmer, but I've downloaded the freeswitch source code, and did a search for "tcp_keepalive". I found the variable of type "int" and it is populated with the value tcp-keepalive from the XML file (in sofia.c). But apart from that the variable is not used at all?? Am I overseeing something?

Originally the option was not there - so I tried running Freeswitch without the option already. That didn't influence tcp keepalives though...

Remove the option.
